Cantina Bastianich

Winery in Colli Orientali, Friuli Grave

About the Winery

It was the passion for wine, combined with the desire to rediscover their origins, that led the Bastianich family, in 1997, to plant the first vineyards in Buttrio and Cividale del Friuli, in one of Italy's most suitable areas for the production of white wines. The vineyards, all owned since 1997, are located in two distinct areas of the DOC Colli Orientali del Friuli. The original vineyard, located in the communes of Buttrio and Premariacco, lies in the warmest, southernmost zone of Friuli Colli Orientali.

These terraced vineyards are warmed by the heat of the Friulian plains and the Adriatic Sea. Re-planted and re-terraced in 2000-2002, these vines are at the height of their quality and production, providing the grapes for our greatest cru wines; Vespa Bianco, Vespa Rosso, Plus, and Calabrone. In Cividale, 10 miles to the north and cooled by mountain breezes, our vineyards here produce the grapes for the fresh, aromatic wines of the Vini Orsone line.

About the Wines

Orsone line: Friulano, Ribolla Gialla, Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Bianco, Refosco, Schioppettino.

Cru lin: Vespa Bianco, Vespa Rosso, Plus, Calabrone.

Bastianich wines
10 with honors for everything.
Detailed and clear explanations both in the vineyard and in the cellar, kindness, excellent quality of the wines tasted.
If like me you are studying to become a sommelier, it is an opportunity to understand many things and taste excellent wines.
A highly recommended visit.

Passion and quality
Welcomed with courtesy by our Roman Cicerone.
He knew how to tell us the story of the winery, the quality of the vines, and the winemaking methods with a passion and detail that is not easily found.
Looked after and pampered from beginning to end without looking at the clock.
And then the tastings, let's not even talk about them. Fantastic

Bastianich Winery Tasting
The experience was truly pleasant. After an introduction where Gerardo, our guide, showed us the vineyards and explained the process that then leads to the production of the wines, we moved on to the tasting of six excellent wines. A truly satisfying and highly recommended experience.

Excellent quality wines but…
We were at the Bastianich winery for a tasting of 6 superior wines of truly excellent quality, we were accompanied by Gerardo Paterna (a young professional but very knowledgeable and attentive) who explained the individual wines to us with great care. We were only offered some breadsticks and that is the reason I am not giving 5 stars... it is indeed quite challenging to do a tasting of such structured wines without pairing them with products like cured meats, cheeses, or vegetables (perhaps local) that would have surely enhanced the properties of the wines more.
All in all, a positive experience.

Wonderful side trip
We had a wonderful time at Bastianich vineyard. Tasted a good selection of wine. The people from the vineyard were informative and super friendly. It’s a little hard to get to, but well worth it. Two thumbs up and 5 starts.

Visit to Bastianich
The tour was led by a very knowledgeable, kind, and helpful young man. The wines were very good and presented with care and a wealth of detail.
The cellar was tidy, clean, well-kept.
It was a beautiful experience that I warmly recommend.
